Effects of Different Variants of Plasma Nitriding on the Properties of the Nitrided Layer

Several process variants of plasma nitriding can be distinguished depending on the location of the voltage introduction. The aim of this study is to compare three different variants of plasma nitriding (DC plasma nitriding, active screen plasma nitriding, and active screening process with bias voltage application) extended by the study of the coverage of active screen on C45E unalloyed steel, using two different N2-H2 gas mixtures. The thickness...
